The essentials The accident happened when the 45-year-old Swiss woman got out of her vehicle, probably to unload something from the rear trunk, but without switching off the engine.
A 45-year-old motorist was seriously injured when her own car ran her over three times, the St. Gallen city police in north-eastern Switzerland said. The driver probably got out of her little sedan to unload something from the trunk, but without switching off the engine.
Stopped on a slightly sloping road, the vehicle began to move backwards. She tried to stop him but in vain because she eventually fell to the ground. The car then ran over him for the first time, according to the police quoted by the ATS agency.
Hospitalized in serious condition
The vehicle continued its insane drive, crashed into a car a little further and headed in the opposite direction, toward the woman on the ground, who was hit a second time. But his car’s racing didn’t stop there. She hit the pavement and backed up to roll on the unfortunate a third time before finally ending her mad race in a wooden barrier. The woman was hospitalized in serious condition.
